TiddlerTweaker - batch deleting large cross-tagged group

[HansBKK]

I've got a collection of TW docs all sharing the same taggly indexing-term tiddlers via LoadTiddlers and its temporary facility (discussed in detail in previous threads).

For convenience's sake I sometimes select the "keep" option so I don't have to reload them so often, and sometimes when I de-select that checkbox and save/refresh, all those temporary tiddlers are deleted en masse - which is excellent, exactly what I want and the way it should be.

However sometimes they remain - no problem you say, just use Eric's most useful TiddlerTweaker to do a batch delete based on the tag temporary. And you're right, definitely way to go.

Problem is caused by the fact that these keyword tiddlers are very extensively cross-referenced to each other, as well as tagging the "local content" tiddlers in the child TWs, so when I tell TiddlerTweaker to delete them, it has to ask me "Do you want to remove" the corresponding tags from all the tiddlers tagged with the keyword-tiddler about to be deleted - for each and every one of the 900+ tiddlers.

Not a huge deal, I'm not complaining, but does anyone have suggestions as to how I can accomplish this (batch deletion based on tag) without having to click a zillion times? Not to mention that one bit of absent-mindedness and potentially hundreds of hours spent classifying the content would be wiped out (yes of course we're backing up but. . .)

Ideally Eric would add an option to prevent the question, but if not I'm open to any other suggestions (short of modify things myself without a cookbook - I'm not a coder).

Thanks in advance as usual. . .

That question is *not* from TiddlerTweaker. It's part of the
TagglyTagging stuff. I think RenameTagPlugin or something like that.

There is *nothing* I can do about the behavior of other plugins that I
haven't written.

Sorry.

As soon as I saw your comment I realized I'd already been told this, my apologies for the senior moment.

Now I just need to figure out how to put a big red "disable RenameTags" button just above the Tweaker interface - actually no joking, I bet I'll find something on your (Eric's) site that will do just that! 8-)

Eh voila!

I'm so proud  8-)

See, you think you're kidding and then you realize that if it's a real need, there's gotta be a plugin for it, and TiddlyTools is definitely the first place to check out.

Heartfelt thanks once again Eric, and (to everyone) sorry to bother y'all - but hopefully this snippet might help another noob one day. . .
